Song of the Day 6/25: Old Crow Medicine Show, “Quarantined”
Old Crow Medicine Show frontman Ketch Secor released this song a month ago, when armed lamebrains were clamoring for an end to self-isolation and asserting their right to a haircut. Now that the states whose governors succumbed to pressure and reopened too soon are seeing record numbers of infections, talk of more quarantines is back in vogue. Though the song is billed to the band, Secor plays all the instruments himself — and, except for the vocals, wears a mask.
Effing love this band
Finally saw them live at Philly Folk Fest in 2017 where they played some “Fascist killin’ music” as Ketch described it. I have always loved their TURE redneck politics (non racist, pro labor, moonshine) coupled with music that is typically dominated by white hot trash.
